Very enjoyable. Wish the author had put the pronunciation guide at the beginning rather than at the very end, but very nice to have nonetheless. ( )

Adequate but not exceptional retellings of: Oenghus, the wooing of Etain, the Children of Tuireann, the Children of Lir, Cú Chulainn and Emer, the Cattle Raid of Cooley, the Boyhood Deeds of Finn, the Hounds of Tuiren, the Quicken Trees, and Oisin in Tir na nÓg. (Actually, I liked this version of Oisin better than some others I've read; no angst, no conversion, just sitting around bitching about how Patrick has ruined everything.) Short, straightforward, would be suitable for reading at festivals.

The two-page spreads on various bits of Celtic culture are pretty trivial for anyone who knows their stuff, but the photographs scattered throughout are pretty nice. ( )
